The ticket entrance is expensive for sure, but after being there, I promise that it's worth it ! I went for the standard entrance ticket (40€ in winter - 50€ in summer) but you can also choose a package including towels, a drink, a massage, etc. depending on how much you are willing to pay. Visit their website to have all the prices.

Then, you will have to get changed and take a shower. The changing rooms are clean and big which is very comfortable. There are private shower rooms if you don't feel comfortable enough to take a shower nacked in front of strangers or in front of your friends (In Iceland, before going to any kind of swimming pool, you have to take a shower without your swim suit).

Don't stay near the entrance, it is pretty crowded (as you can see on my picture). You'd better off explore the entire pool. It is massive and there are a lot of corners that are completely empty. Feeling alone while you are floating in that milky hot water is the best way to enjoy your Blue Lagoon experience !

You can apply a silica mask as the geothermal area from where the water comes is full of silica. You will find many trays full of silica around the pool, you just have to grab some and apply it on your skin. I was unsure of the benefits of this facial mask but my skin was pretty smooth afterwards. I renewed the experience twice to be sure that I wasn't tripping.

During that relaxing day, you can also enjoy the bar that is situated in the middle of the pool, a sauna and a water jet that is perfect if you don't have enough money for a massage.

Over to you, have you ever been to Iceland or is it on your bucklet list?A vous, avez-vous déjà été en Islande?
